George Strait Announces BOK Center Anniversary Show in Tulsa For 2018 [VIDEO]

In 2013 and 14, the cowboy road away as George Strait and the 'Cowboy Rides Away' tour swept across America, with Strait performing the final show in Dallas at AT&T Stadium on June 7, 2014, drawing 104,793 fans, grossing over $18,194,374. Both of those numbers are North American records for a single event. Strait's April 2014 stop at the BOK Center in Tulsa, like most of the shows on the tour, was a complete sell-out. At the time, Strait told fans that he wasn't retiring, just retiring from the full-time touring schedule.

The first proof of that was 'Strait To Vegas', a group of sold-out shows Strait started in 2015 at the Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena. The show continues in Las Vegas through the end of the year, but Strait has decided that 2018 is the year he returns to the road, on a very limited basis. It's called the 'Strait Down Route 66' tour, and so far its just two concerts that Strait has announced.

George Strait’s last visit to Oklahoma was for a sold-out show on his farewell tour at BOK Center on April 19, 2014. His tour stops at the arena in 2010, 2012, and 2014 were three of the most highly-attended events in the BOK Center’s history, averaging nearly 19,000 fans per show. 'Strait Down Route 66' will arguably be the top show of the year in Oklahoma in 2018.
